Please excuse my English. I'm using my mobile + not my mother tongue
I have a couple games from bundles that I'd like to give away. The thing is that I won those games here too (that's why I have an extra copy in the first place)

Do you think if I put an image showing the key that I won for the game I'm giving away (which of course is already activated by me) would be a good idea to avoid being considered a re-gifter?

I'd like to know what you think.
Thanks!

Edit: here's the giveaway :D (it's public and LVL 3 for it's the lowest level from the people that took the time to help me with this question in this thread)
Sorry for the delay, haven't had much spare time lately and steamgifts is blocked at work those bastards!! XD

Is OP a re-gifter?

Yes
No
OP is POtato

As long as you have the game you're giving away and also won here activated on your Steam profile, you'll be fine.

Wouldn't dare to win a game twice. Of course it could happen if you enter many GA's for the same game but I wouldn't hesitate to contact the OP or support so they request a new winner

Its not issue when it happens. Most users know that tickets take time, especially when you won two 100+ copies giveaways.

What gets you in trouble is marking both as received and trying to make giveaway with one.

If you already own those games it means that you activated them, so you shouldn't worry for being called a regifter.

Thanks for your reply mate, I have added a giveaway in case you're interested

regifter is a term where you create giveaway for the copy of the game you won on another giveaway. Buying Giving away another copy of won game which you have already activated in your steam library is fine.

Thanks for the input mate, seems I had a misconception of the term.

If you''ll have wins activated in library everything will be fine, site-rules side.

If someone is blacklisting-crazy, he won't check your descriptions anyway and blacklist you anyway, without confirming you actually activated your wins.

You're right about blacklisters, don't think they'll bother to check that. Thanks for your reply.

i was hoping for clickbait thread. i was half happy. it is not clickbait, but a good question :)

anyway, you can give anything you want. just as long as the games you won are in your library. a lot of users give away games they already own. if someone calls you a regifter just cause you won the same game without checking your steam account, lets hope he doesn't win, and he will but support.

you can say that is another copy and you know that regifting is not allowed. it should deter most "haters"

and welcome to the site :D hope you enjoy it

Not a clickbait the first time but I've just added a GA. Thank you for your reply and the warm welcome, I'm really enjoying my time here. Not very active in the forums for the site is blocked at work and my mobile network is awful but I try to enter puzzles from time to time (haven't solved any yet XD)

I'm glad this also helped you mate! Thanks for the GA, can't enter not only because I'm not LVL 2 but also not my kind of game.
I've just added one to this thread in case you like HOGs or just want to give it a try :D
Take care

I have the same issue with the game overture! I won it on SG, but BundleStars came out with a bundle that included the same game, so now I have spare copies to give away.
But as others have said, as long as you activate your won key before creating GAs for that game that you now have extra copies for, you wouldn't be regarded as a re-gifter.

you are ok. regifting means: winning a game > not activating it on your account > creating a giveaway for it

on the other hand, it's sad to know at least 5 people in sg don't know what regifting means

Thanks for your reply mate! Yeah I was worried about it and thought it would be better if I asked first. Well, let's hope the 5 that voted yes just want to troll a little bit.
Have a good week!

I'm a bit late with my answer, but you don't have to worry about it:)
A lot of people give games from bundles and it's bound to happen that you won 1 or more of those games previously. Especially if you get a lot bundles. So really like the others have said, as long as they are activated on your account you're OK. I'm not entering the GA, because I already have the game, but thanks anyway:)
And how dare anyone to blocked SG, you're right, that's unthinkable;)

Thanks for the input mate :) can't think of a better way to icrease productivity but to enable it again.. I need to have a word with my boss XD

If I ever give away a game that I've won in the past, I'm just going to link to the game on my profile in the giveaway description. I feel like it's better to be up front and make it clear that yes, I won this game in the past and yes, it got activated. That way there's no chance of anyone seeing only half the story and getting the wrong idea.

That's a pretty good idea mate. It's easier than adding the caption of the key for your won activated game. Thanks for your reply :)
